The 16th Arkansas Infantry Regiment was an infantry regiment of the Confederate States Army that was active from November 1861 to 26 May 1865 during the American Civil War. The regiment consisted of volunteer companies from northwestern Arkansas, and it served in the Pea Ridge Campaign in Arkansas before crossing the Mississippi River and fighting at the Battle of Iuka, the Second Battle of Corinth, and the Siege of Port Hudson. The regiment surrendered at Port Hudson, and it was later consolidated with the remnants of several other Arkansas regiments under Jordan E. Cravens.
